Many of us went to the Clark "snake school" before Vietnam. We learned how to cook roots inside those bamboo branches. Yes COBRA's were a concern there. Hence the name of the school. One Negrito guide said he had captured a Japanese soldier, during WWII. The soldier asked him to take him back to his lines. The Negrito said: "So I cut off his head!"

[@PacificWarStories]

Haha. I believe it, they are tough. Japanese feared them.

[@mahdiammons1577]

I crawled through dozens of tunnels on lily hill. I was a kid in the early to late 60’s my dad was stationed at Clark. I also found ammo including mortar rounds bayonets, rusted rotted guns and more.

I remember this airfield from visits to my grandparents house in Bamban... Thank you.

[@lysanderlysandrou5715]

AWESOME! Next time i'm in the phils, after this lockdown ends, I will absolutely come visit you there.

[@PacificWarStories]

Yes, pls do come with us

[@ceevi5911]

I love WW2 stuff, hope i could visit someday

[@scratch99992001]

The Bamban WWll museum was a wonderful experience

[@leftistsarenotpeople]

I would absolutely LOVE to get involved with these kinds of excursions. I am an American expat living here in Hermosa, Bataan since 2009! I've been a WWII aficionado since I was old enough to read. Since the actual Bataan Death March route is LITERALLY outside my front door, there is no other place where this kind of history is so accessible. You guys are doing GOD's work!

[@scratch99992001]

Glad to see I'm not the only who loves WWll history here. I'm retard also,living in San Fernando Pampanga.I will be down in your neck of the woods to visit the Bataan WWll museum in Balanga city. I've been to The Old San Fernando train station where the POWs that survived the March from Bataan to San Fernando then they were put on trains to go to camp O'Donnell. I've been to the Clark museum.and Was just up to Bamban to visit the WW II museum there 2 days ago. Rhonie the curator and owner and his staff are awesome. So much history there that I'm going back again because there was just so much to take in at one time. Enjoy your retirement and visiting these places. If you ever want to hook up to go check these places out.let me know that would be cool

[@edwardbondoc2550]

Great!

[@mt4design2]

My grandfather was imprisoned in Santo Thomas leaving my teenage father to care and provide/protect the family. There are so many untold stories about that time, the horrific brutality of the occupation, etc. Thank you for taking the time to preserve the history.

[@Emtbtoday]

This would be great! I'm a ww2 modeller I build all the armour and create dioramas etc working on Pacific stuff just now! Love my history it's one way I can re create it at home every build is researched and learnt about before I even start it's a great part of learning the history of ww2 then build it to high scale accuracy! I'm waiting to get over to Normandy once restrictions calm down abit from the Frence with covid!

[@PacificWarStories]

I'd like to see it when you finish. Sounds cool

[@DanSnipe-k8o]

I love that tribal dude. It would be awesome to have a stay with him and learn how to make a bow or some of his other items. I had jungle food and tea cooked in bamboo before. It was good.

[@zebschwaller2064]

the big tunnel is on top of the Groto in Rolling Hills Bamban, overlooking the Bamban bridge. It'll be humid, and when you think the tunnel is leaking water from the the ceiling , it isn't water, that's the bats pissing on you.

[@-oiiio-3993]

00:03 - I presume his Jeep is an 'Owner Type' built with MD Juan or other Philippine made body parts? It has 'styling cues' from a few different 'flatfender' models and dimples for top bows similar to those of an M38A1. Didn't check for bats, only snakes! The statement at 15:56 is spot on: "Stories of World War Two need to be told to the younger generations so (that) the sacrifices are not forgotten."

[@PacificWarStories]

Yes, it's a Toyota car frame and engine and a local body. They cobble together some strange stuff. One of these days I'll have a real MB.

[@-oiiio-3993]

@@PacificWarStories Is that your 'Owner Type'? As entirely cool as it would be to have a 100 point restored MB / GPW (I have the partial remains of one), those 'Owner Types' are immensely cool. To me they embody (bad pun?) the true spirit of 'hot rodding', particularly those that are 'scratch built' / home made and on shoestring budget. I have a 'resting' Chevy S10 4X4 longbed truck with 4.3 liter V6 that would wear a stretched flatfender body well - a 'Flatfender Jeep Unlimited' of sorts.

[@juliusnotthecaesar3331]

Very good exploration.

[@kowalski363]

Great video

[@PacificWarStories]

Thanks!

[@grahamsmith347]

I will go with you next trip over there ,probly april .From your neighbor next door Graham Smith.

[@PacificWarStories]

Please do. Looking forward to it

[@earllarson7289]

Digging down like that could be potentially life-threatening. I grew up around Clark and spent years running around in tunnels and trenches around the base. What you had to be careful of, things could have been left with booby traps. It wasn't rare to find live ordinance with all the other war artifacts. Wish we would have had a metal detector at that time, but along with a metal detector - use some kind of metal detector pinpointer, to better be able to locate the artifact and carefully dig around it to expose it. Just poking down with a trowel or shovel, could have been enough to detonate a booby trap.

[@larrymanipon8765]

When was that?we operated last 2018-2019 in Kongkong,Bambang Nueva Vizcaya

[@bryansanchez3849]

how were they able to breath esp in vertically deep tunnels? the ventilation problem

[@PacificWarStories]

There is a good amount of air flowing since the Japanese builders ensured they have ventilation

[@rustyestrella8162]

i have a lot of knowledge about history from almost 7 years of reading history on google and reading historical books from spanish occupatiom to americans occupation and lastly the japanese occupation in the philippines i hope you see this message and would have been so much a pleasure to meet you and talk to you privately about the collab

[@ridingwitha6vbloke878]

Be careful Every tunnel will have mines in middle of the walk way in every tunnel the Japanese put in when abandoning the tunnel to fall back. Great history. And keeping them alive.
